Slow cooker chicken biryani

Slow cooker chicken biryani

About this recipe:This is a variation on two of my favourite biryani recipes. I start everything off in a pan but like to finish it off in a slow cooker so the rice is tender. The end result is packed full of flavour and can be as spicy as you like. Best eaten with yogurt or Indian raita.

Bring water to the boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt, cumin seeds, 2 green cardamom pods, 2 cloves and 2 bay leaves; boil for 1 minute. Add rice; bring water back up to the boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain, reserving whole spices in the rice.
